What is No place for the weary kind : women of the Smokies about?

This beautifully written book offers a glimpse into the history of the Great Smoky Mountains through the lives of women who loved and shaped the land around them. They were toughened by the upheaval of the Civil War, endured perils of the logging boom of the 1920s, resorted to moonshining to make ends meet during the Depression, navigated fraught political waters to safeguard the nations most visited national park, and more. Author Courtney Lix gives voice to 19 womens contributions to a remarkable region, celebrating the diversity of experiences and lives as varied as the mountains themselves. Lottie Stamper was the central figure in reviving a lost art of Cherokee basketry; Margaret Stevenson hiked thousands of miles in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, inspiring countless others to lace up their boots and join her; Dolly Parton brought mountain music to an international audience. And yet, despite their differences in background, talents, and time period, the women all share a common bond of tenacity, strength in adversity, and a guiding sense of the place they call home. Compelling and lyrical, Women of the Smokies celebrates the lives of renowned and accomplished womenlives
